In support of the Now More Than Ever 50th Anniversary Campaign, the National Committee is pleased to announce a generous personal contribution of $1 million from Jerry Yang and his wife, Akiko Yamazaki. Yang is co-founder of Yahoo! and a recent addition to the Committee’s board of directors. Launched at last month’s 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner, the Campaign celebrates five decades of being at the forefront of the U.S.-China relationship. As the National Committee looks ahead to the next 50 years, this contribution will support its ongoing mission of promoting constructive relations through educating people in both countries.
The Committee is grateful to Evan G. Greenberg, chairman and CEO of Chubb and vice chair of the National Committee's board of directors for an anniversary pledge of $1.35 million. Evan led the effort that inspired three other companies to pledge an additional $2.25 million in this initial phase of our anniversary fundraising. (The National Committee’s anniversary year officially ends in June 2017.) Chubb’s contribution will support a half-dozen programs over the next three years: a track II dialogue with leading economists from both countries, a groundbreaking study on China’s investments in the United States, our Young Leaders Forum that brings together talented and creative under 40 leaders in various fields from America and China, our Foreign Policy Colloquium that introduces U.S.-based Chinese graduate students to American foreign policy, our annual gala, and seed funding for a new program focusing on the younger generation of Chinese and American political leaders.
